Although the system might not be -connected to a network, Linux software uses network functions anyway. -We'll be installing at least the local loopback device and a network -card as well if applicable. Also the proper boot scripts will be created -so that networking will be enabled during boot time. +This chapter will create the necessary scripts that are run at boot time. +These scripts perform tasks such as remounting the root file system +mounted read-only by the kernel into read-write mode, activating the swap +partition(s), running a check on the root file system to make sure it's +intact, setting up networking and starting the daemons that the system uses. + + + +We will be using SysV style init scripts. We have chosen this style because it +is widely used and we feel confortable with it. If you want to try something +else, someone has written an LFS-Hint on BSD style init +scripts. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
